“Eid ul-Fitr or Id-ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr‎), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning “festivity”, while Fiṭr means “charity” (and can also mean “nature”, from the word “fitrah”); and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. It is celebrated starting on the last day of the Islamic month of Ramadan.” (via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_ul-Fitr) Eid traditions can vary, but here are some projects and recipes that might inspire you for the upcoming holiday.

While these calendars weren’t crafted specifically for Ramadan, I think they’re a great inspiration for making Ramadan advent calendars.

Since the last full day of fasting is Saturday, perhaps Sunday will be filled with an abundance of delicious meals and treats for you.

And last, but certainly not least, a few projects you might appreciate if you will be attending an Eid party Sunday.

Thanks to my dear friend, Brie, who helped me gather some thoughts and projects about Eid ul-Fitr!
